Hi Guys,

So I lay out my screen/view in visual designer (connected to my tablet via bridge) all looks good (abstract designer matching connected device) until I compile - then half the "views" are hanging off the screen/missing. I'm sure this didn't happen before (old version). TIA.

Have you set the anchors for each view?

No, but surely it's a scaling thing - everything on the tablet (after compiling and running) is too big

It will use the variant size from the designer. Setting the anchors is the way to go.

Thanks Steve.
Just to finish this thread
The anchors were set.
I hadn't added my tablet screen size to the variants panel and it was using 320x480 (the only variant listed and I suspect the default/only one listing in a fresh install).
Cheers
